Production

Most songs of the album have runtimes over 10 minutes; the idea derives from a 13-minute song the duo made back in 2012.[6] The album was almost entirely created using the ACID Pro 2.0 software.[7] It features guest appearances from Child Actor, Lotte Kestner, and JMSN.[8] The cover was designed by tattoo artist MxM (Maxime Büchi).[9]

Critical reception

Michael Scala of Prefix called it Blue Sky Black Death's "most grandiose, cumulative opus".[10] Michael Berry of Seattle Weekly said: "While it sustains multiple listens, it's unclear whether the layers of Glaciers will endure or recede, like its icy namesake, over the years."[11]

In the week of October 2, 2013, Spin included it on the "15 Albums You Can Hear Now" list.[12]
